In this timeless story from a time not so long ago, Annie and her sister
help Mama with washing the clothes on Monday morning. From gathering and
sorting the clothes, to washing and hanging them outside to dry, to
folding and putting them away, the family works together to get the job
done.
"First we work and then we play." Mama smiles but walks with purpose to
the porch.
Tessa Blackham's warm, hand-painted cut-paper collages bring the reader
to a time in the Midwest when doing the laundry was an all-day family
chore.
